Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 281 Fourth Brother, Seventeenth Brother, are all here

"It's already the end of the year."

Unknowingly, it is already approaching the end of the year. In three days, it will be the New Year.

"I originally thought that I would be summoned to the capital by the old man to see His Royal Highness the King of Dian, who is so powerful in Yunnan, and to see how powerful my eighteenth brother is now. But I didn't expect that because of the sudden death of my second brother, the old man also There was no news. But he sent a letter asking me to borrow troops, which is interesting."

Among the thousands of troops, King Zhu Di of Yan was sitting on a horse. After coming out of Xifengkou, he led an army of tens of thousands and moved forward slowly.

After Zhu Di got the news, he immediately realized that this was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If what Zhu Xi described in the letter was true, this was a God-given opportunity to eliminate the biggest force and threat on the grassland in one fell swoop, which was Guilichi. .

So, he came, and not only brought his three guards, a total of more than [-] people, but also his father-in-law, who was Xu Da who guarded Beiping, and left behind after many years of hard work. of large troops.

A total of [-] troops came to the grassland and rushed towards the direction where Zhu Zhen met him.

But Zhu Di was not in a hurry, not because he had bad intentions, but because Zhu Di had warned his fourth brother that the ghost Lichi had taken away the troops of several tribes, probably tens of thousands, as he fled all the way.

Therefore, it is best for the two brothers to attack from the front and back and annihilate Gui Lichi in one fell swoop. If Zhu Di's single unit encounters Gui Lichi, there may still be some danger.

That's why Zhu Di slowed down.

not to mention.

Zhu Di asked the people around him: "Has my seventeenth brother come out too?"

"Your Highness, His Highness Prince Ning has marched simultaneously from the other direction of Xifengkou, leading Duoyan's three guards and one hundred thousand troops. He will never let Gui Lichi have any chance to escape from the dragnet," someone reported loudly.

Prince Ning, Zhu Quan, the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Chen didn't know at this time that not only the sixteenth brother Zhu Zhuan had become a vassal this year, but also the seventeenth brother Ning Wang Zhu Quan, who had been conferred the title of king together in the [-]th year of Hongwu, had also become a vassal. The land is in Daning (now Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia).

And Daning is even still outside Xifengkou Pass.

It's like Zhu Di happened to pass by when he came out of Xifengkou, so he called his seventeenth brother out together.

Zhu Yuanzhang canonized a group of kings and placed King Ning, King Liao, King Shen and King Han in the northeast to intimidate the area.

It's just that these princes are too young after all. King Zhu Song of Han is Zhu Chu's half-brother. They are the real brothers, with the same father and mother.

In history, Zhu Song did not become a vassal until his death, and he was one year younger than his brother Zhu Zhen. He was only thirteen years old this year.

King Shen Zhu Mo was twenty-one years old, younger than Zhu Song, so naturally he was even less likely to become a vassal.

On the contrary, the Liao King Zhu Zhi also became a vassal, but his fiefdom was originally in Guangning and belonged to the boundaries of Liaoning Province.

Because the palace has not yet been constructed, he temporarily lives on the other side of the Daling River, making it inconvenient for him to come here.

What's more, this time the two vassal kings responded to Zhu Chu's request for help and each led an army of [-]. They still couldn't stop Guili Chi, who was just a bereaved dog?

As a result, another [-] Ming troops had already penetrated deep into the grassland and crossed Chifeng from the direction of Xifengkou, which could cut off Guilichi's escape route to the Hulunbuir Prairie.

At the same time, on the other side, Zhu Zhen also led an army. The whole army only carried a few days of dry food and dried meat, and quickly pursued them.

And under the guidance of the third lady, they headed straight for the Chiragut tribe.

Because Sanniangzi was leading the way, they did not encounter strong resistance.

But when Zhu Chu led his people into the Qilagut tribe, there was no trace of Guilichi anywhere.

"The Tatar co-leader Guilichi, after supplying our tribe, summoned his master Zheheng Aha and led all the men to follow them and leave. Moreover, they had just left not long ago, and they only had two or three hours at most. ," someone from the tribe revealed the news to Sanniangzi.

Two or three hours, that is, five or six hours, half a day at most.

Zhu Zhen secretly made some calculations and shouted: "We are getting closer and closer to Guilichi. We will continue to pursue and reward Guilichi after we have annihilated him."

He was no longer willing to continue playing hide-and-seek with Guilichi. It was time to put an end to the grassland war in one fell swoop.

So Zhu Chu continued to lead the army and continued to pursue in the direction pointed by the man.

No one in the army complained or complained, they just followed Zhu Min silently.

After all, even Zhu Zhen didn't complain. What is his identity? They have been insisting, so naturally they dare not hold back.

In this way, even Gui Lichi took a rest in the previous tribe, but Zhu Zhen did not dare to stay. This greatly shortened the distance between the two parties and gave up the time that Zhu Zhen had previously been delayed due to various things. Chased back.

Finally, under Zhu Zhen's unremitting pursuit, the traces of Guilichi's troops could be found in the distance ahead.

Moreover, at this time, the grassland section was close to the same level as Chifeng, which meant that two other Ming armies were approaching from the front.

"Ghost Lichi, where are you going?"

Zhu Zhen shouted loudly, spurred his horse on his hip, and accelerated forward to charge forward.

Although he was in a hurry, Zhu Zhen did not dare to move forward at full speed. It was only then that he led the entire army and began to really enter the momentum of charge.

Look ahead.

Gui Lichi, who was sitting in the main tent of the Chinese army, could not hear Zhu Chu's call, but he seemed to sense something and subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him.

As a result, they saw a torrent of troops chasing them.

"No, the damn Ming army has already caught up with them, and how come they have such a large force? My life is at stake, run away," Gui Lichi was so scared that he didn't dare to stop where he was at this time. Instead of attacking directly, he subconsciously urged the whole army to quickly escape from the pursuit.

In Gui Lichi's army, Zheheng Aha frowned, with a look of disapproval, but did not say anything, but looked at his son-in-law Altan.

Altan was sneering secretly.

Guilichi, Guilichi, you are really afraid of being killed.

Guilichi first fled the headquarters with more than [-] soldiers and horses, and then took away three people from his father-in-law, Wuyuntana's natal tribe, including Batu Buhua's son Batu Timur. Ten thousand troops.

Then he took away tens of thousands of strong men from the Tumote Department and Qilagu Special Department on Jining Road.

To be honest, just in terms of size, Gui Lichi's troops are no worse than Zhu Chu's troops now. In fact, all of Gui Lichi's troops are strong men, while half of Zhu Chu's troops are composed of female soldiers.

If Gui Lichi dares to turn his head and fight Zhu Zhen to the death, it is still unclear who will win.

Of course, this is what Altan thought. He did not know or have seen the power of the light machine gun.

Gui Lichi obviously did not dare to fight Zhu Zhen head-on, so at his urging, the whole army began to speed up.

The two troops in front and behind were both charging at this time, but their charging directions were actually the same. This resulted in the two sides being very subtle and strange, causing the speed to be equal.

After all, they all grew up in the grasslands and rode horses of similar quality. No one was much faster than the other.

If the stalemate continues like this, I am afraid that the first to be unable to hold on will be Zhu Zhen's troops.

Because they have never rested, they are not as durable as the Ghostly Red Army.

But at this moment, a troop suddenly came out from the front.

"Eighteenth brother, fourth brother is here."

It was Zhu Di's troops. Zhu Di shouted loudly. He had already seen the two troops in front and behind him, and saw Zhu Chu's flag on the Chinese army from a distance, so he could naturally distinguish between the enemy and ourselves.

So Zhu Di waved his hand: "Stop them. Kill them."

Now is not the period of the Jingnan War, and Zhu Di does not need to pretend to be crazy or show weakness to the enemy. Zhu Yuanzhang still relies on him, so he will naturally not weaken the vassal.

Therefore, Zhu Di has the 'legacy' left by his father-in-law Xu Da in Shuntian. These [-] troops are all well-trained elite soldiers and strong generals.

And to Zhu Chu's surprise, Zhu Di's troops were all composed of cavalry.

At this time, following Zhu Di's order, the entire army charged forward and collided with Gui Lichi's army.

When cavalry collides with cavalry, there is only one outcome, and that is when they meet on a narrow road, the brave one wins.

There is no conspiracy, no intrigue, no need for any tricks, only one truth is emphasized, that is, whoever has the bigger fist is the truth.

Both sides collided with each other at full speed, and then the gap became apparent. How could Guilichi dare to fight at this time? When he saw such a large army appearing in front of him, his heart went cold. He just kept urging: "Go quickly, go quickly."

If this is true for the general, how much more for his soldiers?

A raging soldier, and a raging nest.

So Gui Lichi's subordinates did not dare to fight with Zhu Di's army, but continued to flee forward.

But Zhu Di's people would not let them go easily. After rushing into Gui Lichi's army, they started killing them crazily.

This was simply a one-sided massacre. The army that Gui Lichi finally gathered again suffered heavy casualties.

But because of Gui Lichi's single-minded escape, they actually managed to escape from Zhu Di's army?

"Fourth brother, why did you let them escape?" It was only then that Zhu Xi pursued Zhu Di's army. Seeing that Gui Lichi was about to leave with a large force of more than [-], he couldn't help complaining.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Xi carefully and found that this eighteenth brother was mature far beyond his age. He even wanted to ask, are you really fourteen years old?

No, after the New Year, Zhu Zhen will be fifteen years old.

But that’s not right, are you really fifteen years old?

"Don't worry, Old Seventeen, your Seventeenth brother is here too," Zhu Di explained with a smile.

Brother Seventeen?

Zhu Ming had to think for a while before finally remembering that he did have such a brother.

Zhu Quan is the seventeenth old man, and he, Zhu Zhen, is the eighteenth old man. In fact, these princes, who are not much different in age, went to school together in the palace.

It's just that Zhu Min has always deliberately hidden his secrets in the past and never dared to show them off in a high-profile manner. Therefore, he is an alternative among his brothers, a little transparent, and his relationship with his biological mother is relatively cold.

I really don’t blame Concubine Zhou for not being close to him. In fact, he and Concubine Zhou hardly move around.

Even his own brother is a fellow traveler with him.

But today, this Seventeenth Brother actually responded to his request for help and came here?

At this moment, a large army rushed out in front of Gui Lichi, as if to confirm Zhu Di's words.

"Where are the Tartars going? Grandpa Zhu Quan is here," Zhu Quan shouted violently, raised his spear and pointed forward: "Kill."

The three guards of Duoyan were killed from Zhu Quan's command.

The history of Duoyan Sanwei is somewhat complicated. It was originally established by Genghis Khan.

As the Beiyuan Dynasty was overthrown by the Ming Dynasty, the Duoyan Three Guards surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and were set up by Zhu Yuanzhang. They could also have been called the Wuliangha Three Guards, which were formed from the Wuliangha tribe.

However, the Ulliangha tribe later betrayed the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming Dynasty sent troops to attack them, and the relationship between the two parties was severed.

As for the current Duoyan Three Guards, they are composed of Jurchens outside the Northeastern Pass. They are the Wuliang case person who calls himself Wuliangha, the Taining guard who calls himself Wengniute (Changliu), and Wujiyete (I am the author). ) Human blessing Yuwei.

The tribes of these three guards are spread throughout the three eastern provinces. Under Zhu Quan alone, there are nearly [-] armored soldiers.

What's even more exaggerated is that Zhu Quan even asked people to pull up six thousand chariots and roll forward in unison.

This is not the magical arrow that Mu Ying used originally, and there is no firearm on it.

But on top of the chariot, there is a terrifying nail board standing in front of it, which is even more terrifying than the Juma stake.

The heavy chariots were lined up in a row, as if a city wall had been erected on the plain out of thin air.

In addition, Zhu Quan had already asked Duoyan's three guards to attack from the left and right, which could be said to have completely blocked Gui Lichi's escape path.

"Is the sky going to kill me?" Gui Lichi couldn't help crying sadly.

Zhu Di, on the other hand, winked at Zhu Qi and said a few good words for Zhu Quan: "Your seventeenth brother is not only brave and good at fighting, but also good at strategy. In terms of arranging troops, I am afraid that even I am not as good as him. Look. , Gui Lichi can no longer escape."

Zhu Ming nodded and said excitedly: "Fourth brother, we brothers are united and can be as sharp as gold. Just a ghost, let him fall here forever."

"good."

Zhu Di praised greatly.

The two brothers had a tacit agreement to command their respective headquarters. Taking advantage of the fact that Zhu Quan had completely blocked the way forward for Guilichi's army, they quickly pursued and killed them.

Suddenly, Gui Lichi turned his head fiercely and stared in Zhu Chu's direction. Even in the chaos of the battle, he found Zhu Chu's whereabouts.

"Damn it, it's you who ruined my great cause," Gui Lichi roared with red eyes.

It was Zhu Zhen who first supported Ningxia Town to defeat Arutai, and then took this as an opportunity to set foot on the grassland. Then he defeated the Yahada Tribe and Natula one after another, and continued to sweep through all the tribes after surrendering Qiqi Ge.

Originally, Guilichi even had a good chance to compete for the Khan position and compete with the Oara tribe.

As a result, he was forced to this point by Zhu Zhen before he could wait until the next spring to realize his ambition.

Gui Lichi thought more and more cruelly, and roared angrily: "My sons, since the Ming army doesn't want us to live, then fight with them. Kill, one kill is enough, kill two and you can earn one. Especially the Ming army My lord, whoever can kill him will be rewarded with thousands of princes, ten thousand taels of gold, countless cattle and sheep, even our woman Wuyuntana, you can take it."

Gui Lichi was really crazy. In fact, he also knew that if he didn't go crazy at this time, there would be no way to survive.

And his wife is really a beauty. Just the fact that Wuyuntana was promised has already made the people around her gasp.

But there was a loud shout: "Gui Lichi, do you think I am your private property? I have been liberated by the Holy Khan, and I will be the Holy Khan's from now on. You bastard is neither a king nor a husband." , I can’t wait to chop you.”

It was Wuyuntana. She heard that Guilichi had promised herself, and she wanted to kill this guy with her own hands.

But Wuyuntana, who was very angry, didn't notice that Zhu Di, who was not far away, turned to look at Zhu Ming with a playful expression.

Holy Khan, right?

Zhu Zhen gritted his teeth and turned a deaf ear. Now he just wants to kill Gui Lichi to avoid future troubles.

"Kill me, damn Akito, you even took my wife away? I want to kill you," Gui Lichi completely ignored Wuyuntana's hatred, but locked his hateful eyes on Zhu Chu On the body, people were even asked to bring bows and arrows, and they shot several arrows in succession at Zhu Chu from a distance.

The grassland people all have the ability to ride and shoot, and after all, Guilichi is the former leader of the Tatar tribe, so he still has some ability.

"Be careful," Zhu Di warned.

On the side, a young general in silver armor came out, waving a spear in his hand and knocking down arrows in the air.

Zhu Di was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed: "Miaojin? Sister, why are you here?"

I didn't have time to notice it before, but I didn't recognize it until now. Isn't this Xu Miaojin, the fourth sister of the Xu family?

Xu Miaojin blushed and rolled her eyes at Zhu Chu, but she didn't bother to say hello to her eldest brother-in-law. Instead, she followed Zhu Chu into the enemy formation from the other side.

Finally, blocked by Zhu Quan's army and chariots, Zhu Zhen finally caught up with Gui Lichi.

Moreover, under the encirclement and suppression by the three brothers each leading a large force of more than [-], Gui Lichi was already a trapped beast still fighting.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Zheheng Aha shouted anxiously: "Altan, you have done me a lot of harm. Did you say this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

However, how could Altan care about him? The front was blocked by those terrifying chariots, the left and right were surrounded by the damn Jurchens of the Duoyan Guards, and the rear was blocked by a large army.

It can be said that they have no chance of escaping to heaven.

"Stop talking nonsense and kill me." Altan is worthy of being known as the Altan in history. At this time, he burst out with terrifying fighting power, and the weapon he used was a terrifying mace. He swung it out with force, or Smash the enemy away, or force several people back to avoid approaching.

Guilichi also went completely crazy. Knowing that there was no possibility of escape, he was forced to use his crazy instinct as an animal.

"Only by killing them can we survive. Kill them for me."

Gui Lichi shouted angrily and led tens of thousands of people, turning around and rushing towards the phalanx of Zhu Chu's troops.

Zhu Chu had always taken the lead, so he immediately broke into the enemy's formation and was surrounded as if he were alone.

Zhu Di was shocked and was about to become worried.

As a result, Zhu Chu and Xu Miaojin were seen dancing their spears to the left and right, and began to kill in tacit agreement. In a short time, they swept away all the surrounding enemies.

Zhu Di opened his mouth wide and was shocked by the young couple's powerful force. At the same time, he felt something in his heart. It seemed that their relationship was not simple.
